LocoSound is a flux audio experience that is synchronized with the landscape viewed
from a train window.

Through a system of GPS tracking, the audience can tune into a radio frequency
when boarding a train wagon and become part of an audio visual experience that
is based on:

a sound experience that has been created for a specific train visual (the landscape
between Zurich and Basel for example)

a system that is sensitive and responsive to any delays, unexpected stops or
other real-time changes in the train ride.
The experience is therefore not linear but rather an interactive and responsive,
taking into account the singular experience of a particular train ride.

The audio concept allows for a new type of music composition, that can also include
narratives.

To travel on a train, watch the landscape and gain an audio experience. This is
the basic concept of what we propose.
In the first phase we will work with sound artists to develop the audio experience,
developing and testing the basic technology needed for execution, and delivering
a final working concept that can be implemented on a train ride.

The result is the creation of a new way to experience train travel, particularly
in a country that has a strong railway heritage, and a wide variety of differents
landscapes.
